Problem:

‍Our Style Guide UI was limited in clarity and options for users, and resulted in many workspaces having active style guide rules without realizing it. These style guide rules may have impacted the quality of their outputs, due to unexpected prompt injection. Rules that users thought were off but were actually injecting into prompts included:

• Use active voice
• Use contractions in writing
• Use Oxford commas
• Use 2 spaces after period.

The most notable place where many users saw this impact is in the “Use 2 spaces after period” rule, which was actually telling the Style Guide to “Use 1 space after period” when it was turned off. This resulted in major over-reporting of Style Guide violations in X-ray view in the Editor.

‍

Solution:

‍The new UI clearly spells out each of the possible rules, and makes it possible to truly turn any rule completely off.
